Love Is Medicine

CHAPTER 23

HANIA

I know what to gift hamza,a wallet, other than that I don't know what to gift.

They are limited gifting options for men.

"Tell me Hania, atleast I'll help to find it.."Hamza asked about for the 6th time in last 10 minutes.

"It's okay I know where to find it." I answered.

While walking I saw a stall down the street, it's a stall of bags with personal engraving.

I hope he likes it..

We both stood infornt of the stall,he looked at me and i raised my eyebrows at his uncertain expression.

I selected a brown wallet for him,and now I'm confused what to engrave on it.

It's more difficult than I think.

I decided to engrave his name on the front side and tell them to engrave his name.

I'm still not sure about it.

And for the inside i decided a phrase
"qué será será" Hamza is talking on the phone outside.

I've observed Hamza so many times,when we are in a group suddenly he is quite and melancholy.

I know that he has issues, but it's not my place to ask him.

He bought both of us kulfi,and he even insisted on trying the street food but I was not hungry at all.

"How many languages you know?" He asked suddenly.

"Umm,i never counted, I know Urdu, English, Arabic, Hindi, Italian, French,a little bit of Spanish and regionals like telugu, kannada Tamil and Punjabi." I said

"Ohh god you are a walking Duolingo.." he commented and i chuckled at that.

"What can I say Urdu is my mother tounge,as a Muslim I learned Arabic, living in India Hindi and English are mandatory. I'm from So Andhrapradesh so in my state telugu is spoken, kannada and Tamil are the languages from other South states,I used to love Punjabi music to understand the lyrics i learnt it."

"How do you even find time to learn international languages?"

"Where there is a will there's a way ,I used to love watching tv I used watch all the Italian cooking shows,i learnt a bit from that.
And i was interested and learnt it fully, and french is quite popular i learned that." I finished.

"We met like 5 months ago,but they are so many things I don't know about you." He said

"Oh really?" I asked "i guess so" he answered,he was guilty of something,i don't know he looked tensed and i choose to ignore it.

After 15 minutes the shopkeeper gave us the wallet, I paid for it.

Hamza opend it "what does that mean?"

"It means whatever will be, will be. So many people have so many meanings to it but for me.If it supposed to happen it will" i explained.

"Interesting" he said tracing the words.

"It means we should live the present, without regretting the past and not worrying about the future."i said his eyes met mine.

"You believe in fate?" He questioned.

"Yes I believe in god's plan, whatever people may call it has fate, belief or destiny." I answered.

He didn't say anything,we are walking towards the location Zain send. It's a rush hour,so it's little bit packed.
